By a Spanish practitioner
(Clearwisdom.net) Around the time of the Fifth World Falun Dafa Day,
practitioners from different parts of Spain held many celebrations and
promotional activities to let more people know about Falun Dafa and the
persecution that has been taking place in Mainland China.
On May 13, practitioners from Madeira took part in a Book
Exhibition Conference held in the city center. Activities included
exercise demonstrations, and many people had the opportunity to learn
the truth about the persecution in China. The Falun Dafa booth was set
up at the exhibition entrance located at the crossroads of two major
avenues. This was also a tourist spot frequently visited by crowds of
tourists, as well as by local people who came to see the exhibition. A photographic display showed the journey of Falun Dafa, from its
introduction in China in 1992 to Dafa's flourishing all over China and
being practiced by one hundred million people around the world. The
photos also portrayed Jiang's regime's brutal persecution of Falun
Gong beginning in 1999, and showed the various tortures Dafa
practitioners are suffering in China. Also shown were images of Dafa
practitioners' persistent and peaceful appeals around the world. Every
photograph told a true story that touched people's hearts. Everyone
who learned the truth did not hesitate to sign a petition to give
their support. Some were families or classmates, some were young
couples, some were older people who have been through a lot and others
were children. When a person in a wheelchair passed by, he did not
wait for his companion's help and struggled to get out of the
wheelchair and tried to walk to the signature collection board to sign
his name. All of them were sending out the same wish: End the
persecution! There were also a lot of people who wanted to practice Falun Gong
after they learned the truth. One after another, they came to ask
where to find the free exercise classes. On this great occasion celebrated by heaven and earth, people were
fortunate to learn about Falun Dafa, and to understand and acknowledge
the universal principle of "Truthfulness, Compassion and
Tolerance." Source: http://clearharmony.net/articles/200405/19802.html

for an end to the persecution.
Almost everyone who learned about the facts of Falun Dafa and
the persecution did not hesitate to sign the petition in support of
Falun Gong.
Their support for Falun Gong upheld justice in the conflict between
righteousness and evil, and also laid a foundation leading to a
wonderful future. We were happy for these people. We are doing our
best to make the most of every opportunity to let more people learn
about Falun Dafa.
